Magic Johnson’s Take on Lakers’ Governance…
Though the Los Angeles Lakers said “hello” to new owner Mark Walter, Jeanie Buss is sticking around like glitter on a craft project, continuing as the Governor of the team. Magic Johnson, who seems to have a tighter bond with Buss than peanut butter has with jelly, is thrilled. Given that Magic also palls around with Walter as part of the Dodgers’ ownership group, he’s confident that Walter’s success with the Dodgers might just sprinkle some magic right onto the Lakers’ court.
In an interview with Broderick Turner of the L.A. Times, Johnson remarked on the brilliance of letting Buss remain on the Board of Governors, quipping it was as smart as choosing dessert over a marathon. Jeanie isn’t the type to see the Lakers as an item in a ‘Free’ bin at a garage sale; Dr. Jerry Buss would only want the best for the legacy. With Walter and Buss teaming up, fans might just get treated to a spectacle as exciting as a cat walking on a piano. Meanwhile, surprise! LeBron James found out about the sale in advance, dispelling the rumor that just Luka Doncic had the scoop.
